to wonder what Boris Johnson replied to when "Putin said he could send a missile to kill him in a minute"

Was it a diplomatic reply?

A bit of reference to Latin or Greek myths?

Or a "Well, yeah, but our missiles are bigger than yours and so can I so there"

I imagine Putin might say something like this. He also might not say it but just do it anyway. I also know it's the kind of thing Johnson would say to make himself the star of the documentary.

I'm surprised he didn't add the detail that Vlad was stroking a white Persian cat at the time.

This cat also featured in my imaginings when I heard the story on the radio this morning

Putin's spokesperson said:

Responding to the claim, Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that what Johnson said was not true, or “more precisely, a lie”.

But who knows who to believe.....

See, Johnson, that's what comes when you lie a lot. People don't believe you

Peskov? LOL.

So many liars. Who to disbelieve?

Now I'm imagining the cat, too.

Perhaps Imaginary Cat could have a face-off with Larry the Cat.

He probably went into innuendo overload and made some Vlad the Impaler joke that flatlined.

notprincehamlet · 30/01/2023 21:55

I'm going to need to see that on the side of a bus Vlad

Dead cat. Wants attention.

A bit of Head and Shoulders and running a comb through would help.

Oh, THAT sort of dead cat!
